Roterfaden, Schwäbischer Landwein 2024

This light red wine from the German region of Württemberg is crafted in the same fresh, energetic style that’s made Roterfaden a darling of the natural wine world. Olympia Samara and Hannes Hoffmann blend pinot noir with blaufränkisch (known in Germany as lemberger) to craft a wine that’s tart, smoky, and an absolutely ideal chilled summer red.

Tastes like: Cherry Jolly Rancher, smoke, dried herbs.

How to drink: Chilled this summer, in the same rotation as Beaujolais and light Jura reds.
